I gave 5/5 for humour just for the picard reference! Faster text would help this game along quite a bit, otherwise I like the sword and sworcery look!

Please do keep working on it. This looks like the beginning of a very cool game!
Maybe you didn't finish the game, but at least you began making it, you are way ahead of all those people that never started theirs. :D
Just wanted to say that this really made me smile. I love the idea and the way you have built it. Shame it wasn't finished but i think it is worth your time to give it a go. I love the humor and the ending made me laugh a lot :) breaking the 4th wall was nice!
This is the start of something that could be really fun! Great job on the graphics!
I giggled at "Kep Tein" and the self-referential ending. The side-on perspective for a spaceship is interesting and the visuals are nice too.
Had a good laugh when he said "the DEVELOPER". I can see the potential in this, if you
reduce the fluff talk, and
make the text advance by pressing space, instead of waiting,
and actually give that poor mechanic something to do.
Your art is very nice.
What a plot twist xD
The text could've been faster at the beginning or better, totally controled by the player (I read pretty fast), also that sudden now-you-see-me-now-you-dont teleportation felt pretty awkward.
But besides that the pixel art is great and it has potential for an amazing full game, hope to see some progress in the future ;D
Barebones as it is, I was getting into it. Definitely worth sticking with
Please keep working on this, it's got the makings of a real gem.
Although I don't consider it a game, this is a quite enjoyable series of conversations. 5 stars for humour.
A good start. Needs a lot of work but I reckon this could turn out awesome!
Love it!
Great graphics, loved it. I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVlJsYHr1MU
This turned out quite fun! Love the art style, the dialogs, and the general vibe.
I'd feel kinda stupid point out potential enhancements cause I'm sure you already got them in your to-do's list (and I'm honestly hoping you have a to-do's list for this game and plans to finish it!), but I'll do that anyway cause I think interacting with fellow devs and having constructive feedback is always the greatest takeaway from Ludum Dare. So, here it goes:
-Moving around is a little too slow and he feels too 'slipery'
-It should be possible to press a button to advance text
-I think some lines of text were not necessary. Usually players want to get into the game quickly, so they don't value information as much as they would later on in the same game! However I know this is an unfinished entry that ended up being about text, so I do understand the reasoning :)
But you know what? If I didn't know this was an unfinished LD game, this begining and all that is in it would have me totally in the mood to start a long, story based space game!
Please let me know if you keep developing it, I really liked it and would be very glad to play, or playtest, or give feedback, or all! :D
And congratulations for your participation. As Linusson said, you're already ahead of the 90% of game dev aspirants who always end up finding excuses for NOT making games. You started one, and it's turning out quite interesting. Keep going, man!
Cheers from Brazil,
Gabriel and JP
Lol, I liked it, even though it wasn't complete xD Would love to see a firefly experience like this one day xD
Awwwww... that's a shame. Please do keep working on it. PLEASE.
Guess I'll just enjoy the view then. ;)
That was hilariously unexpected after the first job. Awesome.
Great start. This was way better than I expected after reading the description. Do the right thing and finish this game!
